Effect: A borrowed finger ring vanishes from the performer’s hand and appears hooked to a link or clip in a Key Case in the performer’s hip pocket.
 
First described by Al Koran in his book Professional Presentations (page 109 – The Flying Ring), the effect is something of a classic (the original inspiration for the effect is credited to Pinetti over 200 years ago), appealing to many performers as a visual and direct bit of chicanery, involving intimate audience participation. Several commercial models have appeared in the market, under the original name, or names such as Ring Flite, and variations thereof.
 
Besides the original version described by Koran, two other detailed presentations for the effect we have come across in print are Ron Wilson’s Routine(s) (pages 104 & 109 in his book The Uncanny Scot), and an excellent treatment by Bruce Cervon in his book Ultra Cervon (page 107 – The Silent Flight).
 
There are other references in magic magazines and literature (pages 105 to 110 seem to be reserved for this !!!), but the three references above will give you a lot of useful ideas and presentation tips for this prop.
 
Our justification for “another” model are what we believe are minor steps forward, from what we have seen, and a very affordable price that empowers many more magicians to put this magic Key Case in their hip pocket! The more people that use it, the better it evolves. See what happened to computers!
 
You can use this prop without the need to conceal the reel behind a lot of keys. That is because the reel is perfectly concealed inside the Key Case, in a special compartment, not just stuck in. You require no extra or duplicate cases, and you can display the Key Case very freely, before and after.
